Abstract

Objective: To verify the influence of physical performance and handgrip strength on the quality of life of the elderly. Method: Quantitative, longitudinal, household survey type survey conducted with 322 elderly people living in the interior of Minas Gerais. Data were collected in 2014 and 2017/2018 using the instruments: Mini Mental State Examination; questionnaires with sociodemographic/economic and clinical data; Short Physical Performance Battery, dynamometry, World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Olders. Descriptive, bivariate analysis and multiple linear regression (p≤0.05) were performed. Results: Between the two collections there was a change in the highest percentage of marital status, with husband or partner in the baseline for widowers at follow-up, in addition to the percentage increase of 5 or more morbidities. The lowest physical performance was a predictor of worse quality of life scores in the domains: physical (p <0.001) and social relationships (p= 0.012); and in the facets: autonomy (p= 0.001); past, present and future activities (p= 0.005) and social participation (p <0.001). The lower handgrip strength was a predictor of a lower quality of life score in the physical domain (p= 0.009). Conclusion: Lower physical performance and lower handgrip strength were associated with a worse quality of life score among elderly people in the community.
